Thirty-eight, three fools have a traitor

The third brocade box is four feet long and one foot wide. Everyone in the seat looked at what gift Zhou Xuan took out. Zhou Xuan reached out and plucked it on the yellow silk-wrapped object in the brocade box. With a "clang" sound, it was the sound of the seven-string guqin.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "This is the 'green Qi' zither of Cai Zhonglang in the late Han Dynasty. It was made by Gutong in Yiyang. It is famous all over the world. It is treasured by Emperor Minghuang of Tang. After the Anshi Rebellion, it was trampled among the people. Fortunately, it has not been damaged." He held out a simple and elegant tangerine violin of more than three feet long, walked to Fairy Jingyi, bowed and held it in his hands, and said, "The Queen Mother of the West is also on her birthday. It is the right thing to celebrate the fairy's birthday. This zither is elegant and belongs to the fairy. As the saying goes, if the zither knows it, you should be glad."

Lin Hanyun clapped her hands and said, "Well, Brother Zhou Xuan is really good at speaking."

Fairy Jingyi stood up to answer the gift, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Brother Xuan." Then she said gracefully: "Are you all the guests who are humiliated, and the girl is so happy that she can't answer the guests. She can only cook a cup of tea and offer it to you." She bowed her head and bowed her head, and the Jianyue turned into the back hall.

Zhou Xuan said: "The fairy Jingyi's tea is rare. Please wait for a moment and let me tell you a joke first. A joke about drinking tea - it is said that there is an island country in the West Sea, which is barbaric and uncivilized. The king heard that people in the Central Plains were very elegant in drinking tea, so he spent a lot of money to buy a box of precious and good tea, but he didn't know how to cook it. Finally, he poured the tea leaves into a pot and boiled it with water, boiled a large pot, poured out the tea water, put salt, and ate the tea residue, which made it special."

Before Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he was already filled with laughter on his seat.

Li Jian smiled and said, "It is said that burning the piano and cooking cranes is a bad thing. Now we need to add another one - burning the piano and cooking cranes to eat tea, haha!"

After a while, Fairy Jingyi and Mingfeng and Jianyue brought out tea. Fairy Jingyi personally poured tea for those present. Everyone laughed at the tea because of the joke Zhou Xuan told just now, making Fairy Jingyi inexplicable. Lin Hanyun's "Princess" repeated the joke, and Fairy Jingyi couldn't help but smile.

Sichi picked up the teacup and sniffed it first, narrowed his eyes and took a small sip. It really penetrated his lungs. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked at Fairy Jingyi, and then looked at Zhou Xuan, and asked Sanchi next to him in a low voice: "Third brother, why is this Fairy Jingyi so much like Yunyi, the maid who was fighting tea in Baiyun Temple that day?"

Sanchi said, "It's been so long since the incident happened, what else can I ask about?"

The Sichi suddenly said, "It turns out that Yunyi was played by Miss Lin. Zhou Xuan is so treacherous. I said why he has such a clever tea art? I have never seen him cook tea!"

Although he said this, Sichi was not indignant of being deceived. He and Sanchi were now used to getting along with Zhou Xuan. Although they were famous as masters and servants, Zhou Xuan never treated them as servants. A sentence Zhou Xuan said when he was in Hongzhou made Sanchi and Sichi brothers quite moved. Zhou Xuan said: "The masters and servants have become brothers for many years."

Li Jian tasted two sips of tea and praised: "The fragrance fills my teeth and cheeks, and the aftertaste is endless, but I don't know what kind of tea it is?"

Even the four fools can’t taste what kind of tea this is? What kind of water?

Fairy Jingyi said: "Tea is hand-planted by the female road, Yunwu tea transplanted from the top of Lushan Mountain. The water is the snow on the plum blossoms collected in the 'Yangchun Baixue Hall' a few days ago."

Chen Ji and Sun brothers praised him repeatedly: "There is extremely elegant, the tea is good, the water is good, and the tea art is better!"

Lin Hanyun was still thinking about the joke Zhou Xuan had just told. The more he thought about it, the more he laughed, and said, "What jokes does Brother Zhou Xuan have? Let me tell you a few more."

Zhou Xuan said: "What if everyone here tells a joke? It's okay not to say it, just play the instruments in the seat - Your Highness the Crown Prince first."

As the crown prince, Li Jiangui naturally had to be reserved. It was so concise to tell jokes in public. He smiled and said, "I'll play a song." He put the guqin on his knees and played the song "Deer Ming", which naturally won applause from the audience.

Next was Princess Qingle. Under Li Jian's urging, she played the song "Liezi Yufeng" with the guzheng, and everyone was amazed.

What really amazes everyone is Yang Xiaofen's zither and Niannu's pipa. On this lively and joyful night, people feel the feeling of "This song should only be found in heaven, how many times can I hear it in the world."

Even Li Jian and Princess Qingle, who were used to listening to the performances of the palace musicians, were impressed by the exquisite musical skills of Zhou Xuan's two families, especially the Yang Xiaopin, who deserved the best of both sexes and skills.

It was the Sun brothers' turn, and Sun Zhan said, "I told a joke. A doctor killed someone and was caught and beaten. The doctor escaped in the middle of the night and swam across a river before returning home. Seeing that his son was still studying medical books under the lamp, he said, "Son, don't rush to read medical books first, learn to swim in the water first."

Everyone laughed.

Fairy Jingyi blew a flute song. Lin Hanyun blew the flute a few times, but it was not in tune at all. She hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou Xuan is telling a joke, tell me quickly."

Zhou Xuan said: "A painter drew a picture of himself in front of the mirror, took it out and asked if others were painted like a picture? A looked at it and said that the hat was like a picture; B said that the clothes were like a picture; the third person C had not spoken yet, and the painter rushed to say that the hat was like a picture. Someone had already said that the clothes had been said. If you don't have to talk about it anymore, just look at the body like a picture? C looked at it for a long time and couldn't see where the image was like, so he had to say that the beard was the most like."

The crowd of laughter kept coming, and Lin Hanyun laughed so hard that she rolled into Fairy Jingyi's arms.

When I taste tea and talk about the rhythm, play music and tell jokes, I feel that time passes quickly when I am happy. In the blink of an eye, the hour of Hai passes by. At the end of the song, everyone parts. Li Jian says goodbye, and Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun send him out.

Li Jian said: "The previous essay of "Qingyu Case" by cousin Xuan was wonderful. Yesterday, my father asked me if there was a new work by the Marquis of Xinzhou recently. Cousin Xuan continued the second half of "Qingyu Case" and I can present it to my father."

Princess Qingle had already walked to the side of the carriage and waited for the emperor's brother to help her get into the car. The inside of her round skirt was supported by a bamboo hoop. It was very difficult to enter the car door. This Australian National Highway Robe looked good, but it was a bit cumbersome.

Zhou Xuanyin said: "The east wind blooms in the night, and thousands of flowers bloom. The stars blow down even more, and the stars are like rain. The fragrance of BMW carvings is everywhere. The sound of phoenix flutes moves, the light of jade pot turns, and fish and dragon dances overnight. The moths and willows are golden wisps, and the smiles are filled with faint fragrance. I look for him in the crowd for thousands of times, but when I look back, the man is in the dim light."

Li Jian was amazed: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Suddenly, he saw Li Huzhu, a girl standing next to the carriage, with a white dress as snow as snow, and a graceful figure, and couldn't help but feel moved, thinking: "What's going on? This word is made for Huzhu? Cousin Xuan is interested in Huzhu? No, Huzhu betrothed to the crown prince of the Southern Han Kingdom. Although Liu Shousu was eccentric and absurd, there was no reason to regret the marriage. Cousin Xuan was afraid that he would miss her lovesickness!"

Lin Hanyun also wrote down the second half of the poems and went back to read them to her sister. Fairy Jingyi couldn't help but become obsessed when she heard "I searched for him in the crowd for thousands of times."

Zhou Xuan drank a few more cups of tea tonight. He was excited and had no sleepiness. He wanted to go to bed with Yang Xiaopin, but he was afraid that he would ruin this little family. Wei Rui and beautiful, how could he bear the storm overnight?

Zhou Xuan looked for the three cynical people, and the four cynical people came to play chess. The three cynical people did not come, and the four cynical people came.

Zhou Xuan said: "How strange, what happened to the third brother recently? He doesn't even like playing chess, and he is crazy about something else?"

Sichi said: "The third brother has reached the critical point in practicing martial arts. This is a good time to practice martial arts."

Zhou Xuan didn't care, so he started with the four fools, and Zhou Xuan took the lead by taking the lead.

After playing dozens of moves, the four-minded white chess has already lost the first move and falls behind. Zhou Xuan frowned and said, "Second, what's wrong with you? I really can't believe that this chess was played by you. It's so stinking. Tomorrow, you will definitely lose if you want to let Mr. Gu play tomorrow?"

The four ignorant seemed to be hesitant about why, and their minds were not on chess at all. At this time, he finally made up his mind and reached out to disrupt the chess game and said, "Master, I have one thing to say--"

Seeing that Siqi looked solemn, Zhou Xuan felt strange and asked, "What's the matter, just say it?"

Sichi said: "I'll tell you, please don't blame me, no one should blame me."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Second, what's wrong with you? You have always been so cheerful. Why are you so hesitant now? Could it be that you have fallen in love with someone's lady? Wow, do you like Fairy Jingyi? You two have a common hobby—"

Sichi quickly interrupted, "Master, don't talk nonsense. I want to say important things, which have something to do with my third brother. Have you noticed that my third brother is a little weird recently?"

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "It's a bit weird. Like you, you have something to worry about."

The Sichi said: "I have nothing to worry about, my third brother has something to worry about."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Third brother, he—"

Sichi said something, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Didn't the master say that he saw a black shadow passing by the west building last night? In fact, that's my third brother."

Zhou Xuan was shocked and said, "Ah, it's the third brother, where is he going? Then you lied to me that he was meditating and practicing martial arts?"

Sichi said: "At that time, I didn't know where my third brother was going. He had never been so mysterious. Today, my third brother sneaked out again and was followed by me secretly, but it turned out--"

"What's wrong? Why are the third brother going to do? Could it be that he went to a brothel to prostitute Y. The third brother is a bit serious."

"Oh, I can't explain it clearly for a moment. The master will tell you if you go with me to see it."

Zhou Xuan went out with Si Chi. Zhou Xuan rode a horse, Si Chi rode a mule, and headed straight to Yuhuatai in the southeast under the heavy night.

Yuhuatai was originally named Shizigang. There was a Zen temple on the hill called Gaozuo Temple. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang, a monk named Yun Guang set up an altar here to preach, saying that Buddhism was vivid and wonderful, and the sky was falling in the sky, and the hill was full of petals, so Shizigang was renamed Yuhuatai since then.

Zhou Xuan and Si Chi came to the Yuhua platform, tied their mount under the old tree, and hiked up the mountain. Zhou Xuan's dark eyes were not good, and he stumbling, relying on Si Chi to pull him.

The two of them came to a few thatched houses on the side of Gaozuo Temple. The four cynical men signaled Zhou Xuan to wait here and he went over to see it first.

Zhou Xuan watched Sichi slowly approaching the thatched house. Before he could reach the eaves, a figure flashed out from the wooden door, and it was Sanchi's voice: "Second, why are you following me again?"

The Sichi whispered: "Third Brother, the master is here."

Sanchi said "Ah", and looked up and saw Zhou Xuan in the darkness ten feet away. He quickly walked over and bowed and called, "Master."

Zhou Xuan guessed something and said with a smile: "Three, what are you doing? Are you doing a date? Hiding a sweetheart in thatched house?"

Sanchi was extremely embarrassed and didn't speak.

Sichi came over and said, "San brother, let me explain this matter clearly to the master. I think it is not that simple. I am afraid that you, Third brother, and your master will be hurt."

Zhou Xuan asked: "Lao San, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Sanqi waved his head around, as if he was very embarrassed, and gritted his teeth and said, "Master, please follow me." He strode towards the grass house.

Zhou Xuan followed the Three Idiots, and the Four Idiots were close to Zhou Xuan. It seemed that Zhou Xuan would be in danger at any time.

Although it is a grass house, it is very clean, with round stools and square tables, and exquisite small cases.

As Zhou Xuan expected, there was indeed a woman in the grass house with her back facing the door. She didn't turn around when she heard someone coming in. Seeing that she had a good figure, she was about the same height as Qin Que, and she was tall and slim. She had a thin dress and her hair drooping. Maybe she was about to take off her makeup and go to bed with Sanchi.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "The third brother, you really have you. You are really a hiding charm in thatched cottage. I didn't see that you are so lustful. Tsk, you shouldn't behave like a person, but that's nothing. I'll bring it back to the shore of Mochou Lake with everyone to drink your wedding banquet with this girl. By the way, the fourth brother said that you have thirty years of boy skills, so wouldn't your martial arts be useless?"

Zhou Xuan said with a smile and relaxed, but the other three people in the thatched house were motionless, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Sichi stared at the woman on her back, as if she was guarding her full strength.

After a while, Sanchi smiled awkwardly and said, "Master is joking, I-" he looked at his good looks and said something.

Zhou Xuan felt something was wrong at this time. If it were an ordinary woman, there was no need to be so nervous. Who is this woman? She looks familiar with her back, and she seems to have seen her?

The Sichi said, "Third brother, please make it clear. If you can't hide this matter, you must let the master know and be good to everyone."

The three-cynical eyebrows were deeply locked, as if trapped by love. They walked to the woman and said slowly: "Aning, I have met the master."

The woman slowly turned around, with her willow-leaf eyebrows and melon-shaped face, showing off her heroic spirit, but her face was pale.
